He still wouldn’t be ready if he got his big birthday telegram from King George!

Sack Jones and the Hot Fuzz duo, keep Selles on as a link to the first team and bring in Biesla.

Maybe they are and he's not listening, or not capable of taking advice.

Spot on, my perception at the time too.

If he could manage to do that the fanbase would likely be a lot happier.

I suppose tomorrow is the day that Brentford get to see what they could have been had Ankersen stayed and been given free access to a billionaire's cheque book. Bet come full time they will be well jel!

Thing is Lyanco isn't a particularly aggressive player, he's just inconsistent and shite.

Rhys Ifans in Notting Hill.

Just watched Sean Dyche's first presser for Everton. As you might imagine totally realistic and pragmatic about both himself and the situation of the club. Whatever you think of the man a consummate professional and I bet he'll turn them round. Jones should watch this as part of his 'learning on the job' and much needed self reflection - and SD is at a genuine basket case club in February.

Looking forward to seeing this one for saints. We’ve needed a focal point to the attack since Ings and arguably a genuine number 9 since pelle. If this comes off PO and Adams could be a real handful for defenders. Hope we go 442 to accommodate!

Yes. In reality we probably have the most tolerant fanbase of a club of our size and stature. The scenes at Everton the other week a case in point. Imagine if Jones had been appointed there as a replacement for Lampard. I’ve always put it down to the mild climate, sea air and zero expectation of success 😀

Fair play to you Nick for keeping the faith 🙂

From what I’ve seen he’s pretty fucking terrible in this life too.

If we do now, it could be the best transfer window of all time!

Likely Nat texting on the journey back using one of the new log-ins. Daftee!

Exactly this. If Ankersen and Semmens want to save some money as well as face I’d actually be relieved of an announcement of a full clear out and the promotion of Selles with an experienced right hand man at present.

Jones is arguably a good deal worse than Pellegrino, Wigley and Gray. Pellegrino had at least some pedigree and presence at appointment, but little investment until the death with the all or nothing grab at Carillo. Wigley and Gray didn’t want the job in the first place but had both been good servants to the club as first team coaches. They at least had the self awareness to know they would be quickly out of their depth. All three appeared more thought out, measured and respectful than the current incumbent.

Watch that go down like Monica Lewinsky over the coming weeks, assuming Ankersen refuses to lance the painful boil he created.

3-0 agg down away in a two legged cup semi final in twenty minutes home side with away goal and you have Everest to climb, even if you are a good side. The team selection and formation at a the start was fucking suicide and facilitated an easy Newcastle victory, bet Howe couldn’t believe his luck. I don’t know how jones could come to the conclusion that that line up and set up gave our best chance of grabbing a result. Baffling, but then again when isn’t he baffling.

Agree. Branfoot despite clear faults could at least set a team up, dour, limited and could be stubborn, but was never arrogant. Watching last night couldn’t help remembering the Full Members (ZDS) Cup final in 92. Old Wembley final, massive Saints contigent at the height of the Branfoot out fervour, he was famously booed when he appeared pre-kick off. So I watched some highlights to aid memory. Branfoot set the team up to be competitive, a limited team against a quality team in Forest under Clough, and we had a real fucking go, only losing in extra time. Branfoot respectful in defeat and those who were there will remember that the saints fans at Wembley were brilliant that day. So, proper Mickey Mouse Cup final, despised manager, threadbare team, narrow loss, but some competitive nous and respect from manager, team and fans. Already with Jones, clearly, it’s much worse.

Atmosphere electric under the lights at St James’s Park! With all due respect…

I wonder if Ankersen and Semmens are beginning to see where their innovative off piste appointment is taking us. Surely Solak is on to Jones by now!

Apparently it was Nat’s interpreter, couldn’t keep up with the pace and imploded!

I wish he was born again, in Nepal!

And a 2% fan approval ratio!
